What is the value of social theory to nursing? What are the implications of overlooking or excluding the social for nursing knowledge and practice? These are some of the questions debated in this lively new book which aims to tease out the tensions, contradictions and synergies between two starkly different intellectual paradigms. Leading scholars consider how social theories have infiltrated nursing, whether the outcome has been productive or not, and what solutions are available to answer some of the challenges posed. Exploring the philosophical, theoretical, empirical and political dimensions of its subject, this is a robust and wide-ranging analysis and critique.
